Exterior Design of new Challenger

From the look, we had on test mule of Dodges’ latest muscle car we can conclude that this model is going to be a wide-body Challenger. Large tires are an unmistakable sign of this because they look bigger than they are on the current version. Additionally, they look larger than tires that 2017 Viper has which are most prominent across entire Dodge range. For more info about design, we would have to wait for Dodge officials or more naked photos of Challenger test mule. Interior wise not much is know at this moment so we would like to wait some more time before drawing conclusions.
